  1. At almost an inch, the dreaded Akro "Buckskin"
  2. Still not seeing Pelt, Foreign to me
  3. I call my Veli "stacked" instead of flames, all perspective though, nice mib BTW
  4. First is an Akro patch, not 100 on the second though ?
  5. Almost positive the black and yellow is CAC, I've had several the same color, just indecisive on the OP which could well be CA as well, guess I'm on the fence on that one. The yellow ones or electric yellow usually have a more vibrant white but there is an exception to every rule. I will admit I do see cutlines on the OP. Good discussion, I'm likin this
  6. Not cryin, just sayin I never shoulda. Had a nasty Divorce, had to for cash, unless I wanted to take out a loan
  7. If you're thinking CAC I've seen it glow greenish white plenty of times but not orange ?? Still ??
  8. Grey base NLR, not sure what to call it, rusty orange ribbons ?? Grey base is HTF anyway.
  9. Another one. A pink based Pelt NLR, one of my first Pelts. I had no idea how rare it was until I had it auctioned off and it was gone. The pix give no justice to how pink it actually was.
  10. Whatever it is it's whacked
  11. Some of the marbles I deeply regret selling. I know you have some to, post em if you can bear it !! I like one offers, what would you say this is ?? The base glass is amethyst W yellow running all through the matrix
  12. One of the few colors of Banded Lutz I still don't have (And pink of course)
  13. Foreign, maybe Euro
  14. Chad G.

    I.D help p3

    Foreign, sorry man, I wish I could help more
  15. Imperial would be my first guess, then foreign
  16. Not MFC or CAC, something else
  17. Oxblood in glass is a deep, rich red color created by a copper compound that is fired under a lack of oxygen (reduction) during the firing process. This method produces a dark, often opaque red that can range from a deep maroon to a rich reddish-brown, and the exact color and quality depend on the precise control of the kiln temperature and atmosphere. Reduction firing: The glass containing copper is fired in a kiln with a limited supply of oxygen. Oxygen-starved environment: This "reduction" atmosphere prevents the oxygen from fully oxidizing the copper, which is necessary to achieve the desired red color. Temperature control: The key to making good oxblood is the precise temperature at which the reduction begins. If the reduction starts too early, the glaze can turn a dull red. If it starts too late, the red color may not appear at all, resulting in a clear glaze. Characteristics of oxblood glass Color: It's a deep, dark red with hints of brown, resembling maroon or burgundy. Opacity: Oxblood glass is often opaque, though it can appear translucent in areas where it is spread very thinly. Appearance: The color can be dense and may be concentrated near the surface or run through the core of the glass object, depending on the manufacturing process. Applications: It is used in various glass objects, such as marbles, pottery glazes, and architectural glass, with its value often tied to the skill used to create it. Oxblood can also dive into the matrix of the marble, not restricted to the surface. Surface oxblood examples :
